An alternate universe where Kunikida is a science student.
This story began with a chat in our group: "For example, what's the maximum size, thickness, and weight of Kunikida's notebook? What counts as acceptable paper? What would happen if he used more concise language? In the original, Kunikida can use the pages he tears out, so what if he tore a sheet into lots of little pieces? What if Kunikida hypnotized himself (for example, saw a wall as paper and some random sharp object nearby as a pen)? What if Kunikida pursued advanced studies in engineering or science? How deeply would he need to understand something for his ability to work? For example, would it be enough to know it's a small reactor and that it will explode, or would he need to know what kind of reactor it is and why it will explode? Could he create storage devices for specific situations (for example, a USB drive with specific information but no password, or a storage device with a password but no specific information)? Another example: when he creates a key in the original, does he have to remember every exact groove and indentation, including their width, or does he only need a general conceptual memory of its shape and function? If it's the latter, what level of seeing, remembering, or understanding is required? If he doesn't know an object's proper name but understands its function, would naming it based on his own understanding work? () To be more specific: if Kunikida makes a bomb, he can see its appearance and understand what it does without knowing the exact principles behind it. If he makes a key, he doesn't need to know how a key works (for example, how the internal structure of a lock fits it). So what if he witnessed Chuuya's gravity ball..."
Basically, it's about an invincible Kunikida Mom and a bunch of children who've dropped out of school, grown-up kids, and child laborers at black companies.
